   Why is big endian ppc64 called ppc64el instead of ppc64be which is more obvious to guess what it means and didnt require me to google the difference between ppc64le vs ppc64el :reimu_sigh:

     @ezio Maybe the ordering of "le" versus "el" is itself demonstrating endianness. :blobfoxthinkgoogly:

     @ezio @flandrescarlet Distro naming being great as usual

     Same with how some calls 64-bit x86 `x86_64` and others `amd64`, and yet others `x64` :blobcatpeekaboo:

     In any case if you want big endian 64-bit PowerPC then you look for `ppc64`

     @flandrescarlet @ezio ppc64el = ppc64le = little endian thoooo

     The big endian one is the one without any ending whatsoever :blobcatpeekaboo:
